B., indicate that water may he “fertilized” so as to increase the plant and animal life within it, making it capable of Sus taining a much larger fish population. A pond or lake which has not many fish may lack sufficient food for them. By the addition of but a single pound of herring meal to a thousand gal lons of water a pond 'was made so fertile that it produced nearly a hun dred times ns many plant growths as developed in a similar quantity of unfertilized waier. The increase in fish food brought about an increase of fishes. Progress of U. S. Mail In President Madison's time the pos tal rates were changed.
